For holidays and events, Israeli Jews and Jews worldwide use a lunisolar calendar, in which the month begins at the new moon and a thirteenth month is added every few years. The months start with Tishrei (Sept.-Oct.) and run through Elul (August-September); thus Elul 5760 is followed by Tishrei 5761. “Aviv,” the word for “spring,” is sometimes substituted for “Nisan” and is also the name of a stage that the growth of barley reaches at that time.
